Collaborating on Digital Growth
DEN and Cultuur Oost join forces for a practical afternoon that removes the complexity of digital transformation. No boring lectures, but a hands-on session where you and your colleagues from the sector and the region lay the foundation for the future of your organization. A unique opportunity to work on a solid digital foundation.
Your Digital To-Do List, But in Just One Afternoon
During this edition, there is also attention for working with audience data, a topic where many cultural organizations in Gelderland want to make progress. This, of course, requires a solid digital foundation: data must be protected, and how about GDPR regulations? We also focus on the application landscape. Too often, we work with a jumble of non-communicating applications with their own data logic and countless login credentials. This can be made easier!
The dance company Introdans is an example of a cultural institution actively exploring the possibilities and opportunities that digital tools offer. Introdans will share its experiences with reaching new audiences online and strengthening digital skills within the organization. They also have great examples of VR/AR performances that can inspire your digital ambition.
- Legislation and regulations:
- cybersecurity - create a secure working environment
- digital accessibility - make inclusive websites that work for everyone
- digital sustainability - sustainable and cost-effective IT choices
- copyright - control over your own work and clarity on using others' content
- GDPR - how can you work GDPR-compliant?
- Data - get a grip on data
- IT Infrastructure - control your tools and systems
- Digital skills - confidently work with new tools
These are the building blocks that provide overview and support. A good foundation is the key to success and prevents losing time and money later on due to security risks and project bottlenecks.
The Power of the Region: DEN & Cultuur Oost
What makes this event different? We combine the knowledge of DEN, the knowledge institute for culture & digital transformation, with the local expertise of Cultuur Oost (opens in new tab), the knowledge and implementation organization for art and culture in the province of Gelderland. This guarantees not only theory but also recognizable, regional examples from your own practice.
Who is this event for?
This tour is specifically for you if you work at a small or medium-sized cultural organization. If you want to tackle digital developments but don’t know where to start. And if you’re looking for concrete tools, not vague theories, and a network to help you move forward.
The tour is regionally oriented. DEN traveled through several regions in the Netherlands in late 2025 and early 2026. This final edition is organized for the region East.
What will you take home?
- Concrete steps: a clear plan with the first steps for your organization.
- Immediately applicable tools: handy tools and step-by-step plans you can use right away.
- A new network: new contacts and insights from colleagues and experts in the region.
